Both are expected to occur in ITER due to the slow current penetration into the core as well as core radiation due to Tungstenimpurities. An ITER mock-up discharge with a subtle reversed shear q-profile but still a monotonic pressure profile is significantly above the onset threshold. This work1is supported by the US Department of Energy under DE-AC05-00OR22725DE-, AC02-09CH1146and6 DE-FC02-04ER54698.
